I have this exact same issue with Ubiquiti. Would go to network in which we designed spanning tree Loops in the event of a switch failure the network could automatically recover in keep portions from being disconnected. This all works fine until power loss greater than the run time on the UPS's. Seems to me like a simple fix, simply do not activate the switch ports until spanning tree is running and then activate them one at a time.
